Bemo Corner

Right on the corner is Kuta Kidz, a colourful boutique filled with children’s tropical resort wear. Further along the narrow footpath are rows of kiosks selling anything from authentic Balinese silver jewellery and vivid batiks, to fake Rolexes and Bulgari perfumes. Much of the items sold are similar from one kiosk to another, so it’s good to compare prices before you haggle to eventually score a good bargain. Among the popular dining spots that you’ll encounter immediately is the original Made’s Warung, established in 1969, it has filled the bellies of surfers and expats with somewhat westernized spicy Balinese cuisine ever since. Right beside it is Un’s Paradise Restaurant, which isn’t street-side, yet accessible down a small alley. Next door, is the communal hall and traditional town council of Kuta, called Banjar Pande Mas. Its ornate Balinese architecture gives the road a refreshingly traditional touch amid the modern, hectic, and traffic-dominated vibe usually felt in Kuta.
